MIGRATION OF BIRDS.
Reasons Which Prompt Them to Seek q

of the seasons. For when
the swift is not in Great Britain he is
off ut his other alternative residence in
the Cape Colony. AS some people keep
up house in England and winter
villa at Cannes or Mentone, so the
swift has always summer nest in
Europe and winter nest in temperate
South Africa. Or rather, they are each
in their own time summer nests alike;
for, of course. whenever it is winter
here it is sunny midsummer in the
southern hemisphere. Unwise admirers
of the swift have ventured boldly to
assert that he knows when cold weather

summer migrants is simply because

A Story From Chicago.

The woman who remarked that with
one servant your household work is
done, with two it is half done, and with
three you have to do it yourself, doubt
less thought she had said neat thing.
But, according to gentleman of Chi
cago, electricity is the only satisfactory
domestic servant. He has fitted up his
house with electrical apparatus that does
every thing. 1t wakens him in the
morning. After that all he has to do is
to press knobs. With one pressure the
fire is lighted, and on goes the kettle;
with another his hot water is sent up
stairs. Electric scrubbing brushes keep
every thing nice and clean. and an
electric page-boy opens the door for

Train the pup from the the time he is
one month old; train him to know what
you want him to do, by kindness; show
him what you want done. and then
kindly but firmly keep him at his task
until he has learned it. Fondle and
pet him for duty well performed and
the next time he will do it with greater
alacrity and pleasure. Talk to him rs
